THIS TYPE OF MAJOR EXPENSIVE FAILURE SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING WITH A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILEAGE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET (GM REQUEST # G01479570). THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I AM NOT UNHAPPY WITH QUALITY OF THIS AUTOMOBILE, BUT NOT HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE AND RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET FOR NOT WILLING TO HELP. IS THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER VEHICLES MAKE AND TYPE.**** DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT-OVER TO ARTEMIS*****731233. *AK *JB

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM, SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE DATES I HAVE GIVEN ARE NOT EXACT - THEY WERE A ESTIMATION. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM HAS GIVEN ME QUIT A BIT OF FLACK ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS. EVEN WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY I STILL TO THIS DAY CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AT THIS TIME THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT, THERE IS A BAFFLING LOSE IN THE CATYLITIC CONVERTER - THAT CONSTANTLY CLANKS WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, THE CARS PAINT IS PEELING AND CHIPPING. WHEN I HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BY SEVERAL AUTO BODY SHOPS THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A "FRIDAY CAR" AND A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE FRONT SUSPENTION CONTINUES TO SQUEEK LOUDLY WHEN GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS. AT THIS POINT I FEEL LIKE I RECEIVED A LEMON OF A DEAL WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TAKEN OUR CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND FORTH SINCE 06/19/00. EVERY TIME WE TAKE IT BACK THEN HERE IS A NEW PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE . AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED IT STILL WAS LEAKING COOLANT AND NOT RETAINING IT. THEY SAID WHEN I PICKED MY VEHICLE UP THEY SAID IT NEEDS A WATER PUMP. NOT ONLY HAVE WE SPENT 1129.86 IN THE MATTER OF 4 WEEKS BUT THEY WANTED AN ADDITIONAL 275 -300 MORE FOR THE WATER PUMP. I FEEL AS THOUGH THAT THE TRUE PROBLEM WAS THE WATER PUMP TO BEGIN WITH BUT THEY DECIDED THAT I'M NOT SMART ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CARS. I'D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD INVESTIGATE THIS COMPANY OUT AND IF THEIR IS A WAY FOR THEM TO CORRECTLY FIX MY PROBLEMS OR REIMBURSE FOR MY SAME PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE IS STILL MAKING FUNNY NOISES AND STILL LEAKING COOLANT AFTER A 585.88 BILL . WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON 07/17/00 BUT ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING . THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.*AK

I HAD WASHED MY 1995 CHEVROLET CORSICA ON MAY 18TH 2000 AND HAD CLUMPS OF PAINT COMING OF THE CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERS. THEY HAD SAID THEY WILL NOT PAINT IT FOR FREE. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I DO NOT THINK I SHOULD BECAUSE IT IS A FACTOR DEFECT. I HAD A FRIEND LOOK AT IT AND HE SAID THAT THE FACTOR PERSON DID NOT SAND IT DOWN BEFORE PAINTING IT. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT ABOUT ANY RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR IF I MAY, PLEASE. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN VEHICLE. *AK
